Comic 715 - Look at this mess!

Author Notes:

Some people have been expressing some confusion regarding certain relationships in the story (particularly in regards to Emily and Maria), so I decided to make a little chart to explain the important relationships. It's crazy convoluted, so this is probably as simplistic as I can make it. Sorry for that. Hopefully, it's at least semi decipherable.

All information here has been established somewhere within the 677 story pages currently available online (as of this writing). If you don't remember where, I'll be happy drop some links. Do be aware that anything could change at the drop of a hat too, and for all we know this could be dated by the time p.678 goes up (I don't think it actually will in this case, but hypothetically speaking).

And yes, there are other characters in the story, but I'm just focusing on the ones you should be aware of (mostly in the school setting).

UPDATE - Thank you for your reminders of all the things left off the chart. Most of which I am aware of, but left off for one of a few reasons:
1. I assume the reader knows already
2. I didn't think a it was as relevant anymore
3. I really couldn't fit it because two characters are miles away from each other on the chart

I do not claim this to be a perfect or complete list of relationships. Just some reminders of things I deemed important (and in some cases, thought some might forget).

Technically, she's never directly appeared outside of being talked about, and one flashback, but she does get mentioned enough for me to think she's worth including. See these pages:

I didn't realize that Kellen's and Aiken's ex-fiancés dated each other. I knew that Chase and Jessica went on a few dates, but I forgot that Chase was Kellen's ex-fiancé. That's kinda weird to think about: two twins, both used to be engaged, and their ex-fiancés dated each other.

Wait, hold on. If this chart is of things that we should pay attention to, why are Aidyn and Madison included? As you've said, they've contributed nothing to the story. Are they gonna start contributing in the future?

Didn't Fara and Heather also have a drunken make out session? Ky had pictures that Fara deleted? That was the night Rain stayed at Gavin's house. It would seem that a bottle of red wine gets Heather interested.... lol

Yeah. I opted out of Fara and Heather's drunken kiss because I didn't think it was as relevant since it was so long ago with nothing ever coming from it (also because they're nowhere near each other on the chart). XD

Every connection rain has except for gavin and a rabbit, are either crushes or people she used to date. and why do you have the childhood friend connection when no other connections are bout friendships???

If I listed every single friendship, this thing would be all arrows criss-crossing with each other. Same with familial relationships. I just opted to leave most of that out because I assume readers probably all know that. I single out Rain and Gavin as childhood friends because that is notably significant.

I was actually going to make on of these myself at one point, just so I could keep track! (Saves image.) So THANK YOU! Let me know when things lighten up or straighten out a bit for you, I still want to have you on my show if you're still interested.
